here is what my girlfriend and I did:

First, decide if you want quality, or low price. Come to terms with the fact that the better quality it is, the more $$$ you are going to spend.

Then start reading. Read consumer reports, online information, and research the resolution and other facts about each style of monitor. Once you decide on a brand and size, start researching model numbers. Find a monitor that fits your specs, for what you do with your computer. Obviously a $1000 gaming monitor isn't necessary if you are just surfing the net on occasion.

Once you find the monitor you want, and the model number you are happy with, you can start price shopping. Often times just googling the model number will show you many different prices, and the best places to buy them. For my girlfriend and I, we did all our research online, then we were able to find an LCD TV at Video only for ~$150 cheaper than anywhere else....including the "going out of business 'sale' " that circuit city was having.
